Welcome to part two of the test I'm going to give you a document with the topic you have to answer.
You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.
You have one minute to think about what you were going to say.
You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
You have one minute to prepare.
Starting now
OK time's up.
Please stop Rick Perry.
You know I have two minutes to speak starting now.
Well I would definitely say that I haven't made very many short short travels or short journeys that
I have disliked but but one that comes to mind would be going to work.
Actually I don't live very far away from my work but I have to go through a part of the town I have
to go through a part of the town that usually has a lot of traffic.
So you know when I get up in the morning and of course have my breakfast and get ready to go.
And I leave out from the house around 7:30 8:00 o'clock and I have to travel up Colorado Boulevard to
get to where to get to where I have to work.
And there's a certain part that I have to travel through where there's just a lot of traffic.
I think they call it a bottleneck where all the people from different directions come into one point
it is just unbearable sometimes.
Really if if there was no traffic the journey might take maybe about 10 minutes.
However because there's so much traffic on this short journey to work it takes about 45 minutes to get
there which is horrible.
I have to do this about five or six days a week at work or work on a Saturday.
Saturday is not that bad.
That was usually Monday through Friday.
There's really really bad.
The main reasons why I don't like it at all is because number one of course the traffic and the people
are very very impatient when they're waiting in traffic.
Everybody's angry and upset and blowing their horns.
In addition to that while I'm sitting for 45 minutes cooped up or stuck in a car.
And so that could be very very frustrating.
So definitely traveler traveling to work is the short journey that I really dislike the most.
OK.
Please stop.
We now move to part three.
I have a few follow up questions related to the topic you just discussed.
What is the impact of vehicles on people's lives.
I think that there are some good good.
There are some good some positive and negatives when it comes to vehicles in the lives of everyday citizens.
Some of the negatives would be that people spent a lot of time cooped up in traffic and they very often
just waste two or three hours of their day going back and forth from work staying in cars.
Some of the positives about cars are that now you can travel from from one from one state or one city
to another city or one province to another province and a number of hours whereas before you had cars
that would take a really long time maybe a day or so.
Who do you think people are further away from workplaces in the future.
Wow that's really interesting.
Sometimes I look at different cities and it seems like people are moving back into the back into the
inner cities so they can be closer to work.
But also with computers and technology it's becoming much easier for people to work from home.
And so it's possible that somebody might live in Lisbon Portugal but they're doing work in New York
City and it's all over the computer so I can see it happening yes.
It needs to be done to help people travel less.
I think that there one thing that government can do that most governments can do are to build more mass
transportation in the cities.
Another great idea is what I've seen them do in Amsterdam where they have closed off parts of the city
to two cars so people have to walk more.
So I think another thing to do in terms of helping people to travel less is to encourage and embrace
computer technology because maybe people can do a lot of the work from their home or from their home
office.
And I have to travel into an office as 30 or 45 minutes away.
Thank you.
That will conclude part three.
Thank you.
